Category: 5 Gyres

Our vision is to witness plastic pollution decline in the environment until it is no longer found in the world’s oceans.

Our mission is to conduct research and communicate about the global impact of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and employ strategies to eliminate the accumulation of plastic pollution in the 5 subtropical gyres.

Yesterday I spoke with a frustrated activist, Emily Utter, who is one of the most prominent players in pushing common sense plastic legislation and one of the pioneers behind San Francisco’s historic policy on plastic bags. SF’s actions set precedent for many other cities and counties to act. Her work is admirable, and put it this way, she’s a force, and I’m very happy she’s on our side as I wouldn’t want to square off against her.
